Al Bustan Palace Celebrates 30 Years as Oman's Landmark Destination Resort Along With Oman National Day Festivities

MUSCAT, SULTANATE OF OMAN -- (Marketwired) --
Nov 09, 2015 -- Al
Bustan Palace, A Ritz-Carlton Hotel, marks Oman national day
with a series of events to be held in the iconic palace throughout
the month of November, and an exclusive, limited 30th anniversary
package to discover the "Secrets of the Palace".

Al Bustan Palace officially opened in 1985, on the occasion of
the first GCC Summit to take place in the Sultanate. In the last 30
years, it has set the standard for luxury hospitality in Oman and
helped transform Muscat into the must-see destination it is today.
To celebrate this milestone, Al Bustan Palace, the sultan's palace,
pays homage to the Sultanate and His Majesty Sultan Qaboos through
launching a month of festivities simultaneously with the 45th Oman
National Day celebrations.

To mark the beginning of the festivities, the national colours
will be proudly displayed around the palace, reinforcing the
majestic heritage of the legendary hotel. Al Bustan Palace has
chosen to bring light to the Ladies and Gentlemen of the palace,
unveiling an anniversary calendar highlighting stories and memories
told by some ladies and gentlemen of the luxury Oman hotel.

Thursday 12th November will be the highlight of a long-standing
relationship between the Royal Oman Symphony Orchestra in Muscat
and Al Bustan Palace, a Ritz-Carlton hotel. An exclusive concert
will be held to celebrate the combined 30 years anniversary of the
Royal Oman Symphony Orchestra and the palace. The event, an evening
of Classical and Romantic Music, including the virtuosic First
Piano Concerto in E flat by Franz Liszt, will take place at the
Oman Auditorium at Al Bustan Palace, featuring world-renowned
pianist and visiting guest artist Daniel Grimwood. The program will
also include Beethoven's First Symphony. A truly memorable event
that a few select attendees will enjoy in exclusivity. Tickets will
be available to purchase from November 1st at Al Bustan Palace.

In a tribute to the Sultanate and its culinary flavors, guests
are invited to experience the authenticity and magic of the Arabian
Nights at
Al Khiran Terrace. Each Thursday night throughout November, the
all-day dining venue will dress up for an Omani feast overlooking
the infinity pool and the beachfront. Guests will be invited to
dine in a traditional Omani ambience, surrounded by the fire
torches of the pool and garden and the sound of a traditional
kanoun player.

Guests willing to explore the life of the palace and discover
all of the secrets and history of the iconic palace can book an
exclusive "Secrets of the Palace", exclusively offered until 24th
December 2015.

The luxury hotel package includes an Omani warm welcome with
coffee and dates and an exclusive, one-hour tour of the facilities
to explore the history and unique facts about the palace. In
addition to this, guests can indulge in a themed buffet dinner at
Al Khiran Terrace, and enjoy an overnight stay with breakfast at Al
Bustan Palace. Rates start from OMR 160 + taxes per night in a
Deluxe room.

To give an opulent twist to the celebrations, the recently
opened
Six Senses Spa at Al Bustan Palace will offer a 45 minute Omani
Bath Beauty Ritual, performed in a luxurious copper bathtub, in one
of the spa's magnificent treatment suites. Using cloves, local
herbs and oils, the ritual is designed to stimulate the senses and
relax. It includes foot file, whilst in the bath, and hair
mask.

Giving back to the local community is one of the strongest
pillars of the brand's social responsibility programme, Community
Footprints. The teams at Al Bustan Palace take part in a series of
activities aligned around the issues that are important to the
local community, mobilizing skill-based volunteering and resources
to make a difference. In celebration of the 45th National Day
celebrations in Oman, proceeds from the Omani traditional buffet
held each Thursday night in November at Al Khiran Terrace will be
donated to Al Khoud Child Care Center, to support the hotel's
commitment to child wellbeing.

The milestone, celebrated throughout the month of November,
reinforces the positioning of Al Bustan Palace as a legendary
palace and iconic destination resort, setting the stage for a new
level of experiences in Muscat's rich social, cultural and culinary
environment.
